Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.

Mismatch Repair

Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The Mutator Protein Family Plays a Key Role in DNA Mismatch Repair
The human genome has more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA per cell. Prior to cell division, that vast amount of genetic...

Summary

Deaf signers encountering new languages use "try markers" to signal potential communication issues. This proactive signaling speeds up problem-solving in conversations, demonstrating enhanced meta-linguistic awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Psychology
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Human communication typically occurs between speakers of the same language.
  • Cross-linguistic communication is possible, particularly through iconic elements in sign language.
  • Other-initiated repair (OIR) is a key mechanism for resolving communication breakdowns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how deaf signers with different languages initiate communication.
  • To analyze the role of
  • try markers
  • in other-initiated repair (OIR) sequences.
  • To explore the impact of try markers on the efficiency of communication repair.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of other-initiated repair (OIR) sequences in first-encounter sign language interactions.
  • Identification and categorization of "try markers" used by signers.
  • Measurement of response times in OIR sequences with and without try markers.

Main Results:

  • Signers frequently use "try markers" (e.g., repetition, gestural holds, prosodic lengthening, eyegaze) to signal potential communication difficulties.
  • Try-marked utterances in the problem source turn (T-1) lead to faster problem-solution turns (T+1).
  • These findings suggest proactive anticipation of communication trouble by signers.

Conclusions:

  • Signers actively anticipate potential misunderstandings and use "try markers" to facilitate communication repair.
  • Heightened meta-linguistic awareness aids in navigating communication at the limits of shared language.
  • Iconic affordances in sign language play a crucial role in enabling cross-linguistic communication and repair.
